CCTV Installation Basildon Essex (SS12 and SS13): CCTV systems and security cameras in Basildon have become widespread over the last ten years or so thanks mainly to falling costs and improvements in technology. Yet all CCTV systems don't offer the same degree of security, especially if the cameras have been poorly sited. To avoid any design problems and get the best possible performance from any security camera system it's always best to use a professional Basildon installation company with plenty of CCTV experience.
TYPES OF CCTV SYSTEMS
Analogue Systems - Can have multiple cameras to monitor and record all aspects of your home, both internally and externally. Analogue systems can be configured to provide constant recording of video or take still frames and send them to an on-site DVR (digital video recorder) for storage and viewing. The DVR will have an option to copy stored data to an external device, like a USB flash drive, or may have an inbuilt DVD or CD recorder to permit images and video to be handed to the authorities as criminal evidence. The web connection is optional, as these CCTV setups are designed to function as a standalone system.

Internet Protocol (IP) Systems - IP cameras hook up to a wireless intranet or internet connection to transmit their video and images. Every camera has got a unique IP address which is used to link them to a computer system or DVR. One of the benefits of IP cameras is the capability to record video and images to a remote location, including your smartphone, so any relevant footage can't be deleted by the intruder on site. Security needs to be set-up perfectly to avoid other people from viewing your images and videos.
Cloud Based CCTV - These CCTV cameras record to remote storage based in the internet "cloud". Both analogue and IP systems are able to use cloud based technology together with their standard recording capabilities. Cloud recording typically has a monthly fee which is determined by how much space is required on servers and whether you need 24 hour monitoring.

LIGHTING FOR CAMERAS
Contemporary CCTV cameras will often come with integrated infrared lights for operation in dark conditions. The images recorded by an infrared camera could be of a slightly lower resolution than those taken in normal daytime light and they'll also always be in black and white due to the characteristics of low light recording. It is possible, if you think your resolution at night does not meet your expectations, to set up specialist security lamps that produce a more natural light source for your CCTV cameras. These offer you the most effective chance of recording colours under artificial light conditions, and can also be set to only come on if your camera detects movement.
If you're using motion sensor lights with a CCTV system, you have to make sure that the light does not shine brightly on neighbour's property and gardens, or shine directly into any oncoming traffic areas.
CCTV AND THE LAW
If your CCTV cameras capture images from any part of public areas or a neighbouring garden or property you are governed by Data Protection Act legislation. The Data Protection Act doesn't mean that its illegal to use these cameras, however any footage stored must be given protection from possible misuse for any person who appears in the footage.

There are distinct requirements on informational signage for your CCTV camera system if you are monitoring a public place or an area belonging to another individual, and you should contact the Information Commissioner's Office for advice. You can make certain that all legal requirements are satisfied by using a certified CCTV service in Basildon for the installing of your CCTV camera system.
You should not require planning permission for your CCTV cameras unless you live in a conservation area, you're in a place of special scientific interest, you live in a national park or you are positioning them on a listed building. In other houses in Basildon you can avoid the need for planning permission by making sure that your security cameras are fixed at least 2.5 mtrs above the ground and that they do not stick out a distance of more than a metre.
PICKING THE BEST CCTV SYSTEM
Whatever your budget is you should be able to find a CCTV security system that satisfies your needs. Your circumstances might mean that all you need is a solitary camera to monitor your main entrance, whilst a larger house might require several cameras with motion detecting technology that's linked to a security firm's monitored alarm service. A specialist CCTV company in Basildon will consider your specific requirements and recommend a security system that matches your needs and circumstances.
They will also make certain your budget is not overstretched or attempt to sell you equipment that is not really necessary.

Always get itemised estimates from at least 3 different CCTV companies and ensure that you understand precisely the service and equipment that they're providing.

Certain places might need discrete cameras, whilst others may need a more noticeable presence to act as a deterrent to burglars. Bear in mind that interviews conducted with ex-burglars by police and insurance companies show that expertly fitted CCTV equipment is the number one factor in making a would be burglar move on to a less well protected home.
